Exfoliate regularly. Do you know what the exfoliation on your face is?

Many beauty lovers know that if you want your facial skin to be smooth, translucent and elastic, you need to exfoliate regularly. However, men are not very good at this aspect of beauty and don’t even know what exfoliation is. It doesn’t matter. Today, I will introduce you to the exfoliation on your face in detail.

What is keratin?

The stratum corneum is composed of stratified flat cells, which have two different characteristics compared to most cells. One is that they have no nucleus, but are dead cells.

Keratin is the outermost layer of the skin.

The stratum corneum on your face is the outermost layer of your entire face, the outermost layer of the facial epidermis that can be touched by your hands every day. The stratum corneum has an important protective function: preventing moisture loss, the passage of harmful substances, and preventing radiation hazards, etc.

The stratum corneum is derived from cells

The source of stratum corneum cells is mainly derived from the basal cells in the deep structure of the epidermis. The stratum corneum is also a cell group that is constantly renewed. The rate of cell generation must be balanced with the loss of cells. The general renewal time is 52-75 days. If the renewal time is too short, the differentiation of basal layer cells will be disordered, the stratum corneum cells will be poorly keratinized, and the above-mentioned stratum corneum functions will be weakened.

Exfoliation

Exfoliation in beauty is mainly aimed at the stratum corneum of the face, because there is a large amount of melanin deposited in the stratum corneum. Dry skin is prone to the functional overall and large-scale shedding of the stratum corneum. The function of the exfoliation layer in facial cleansers is to remove these cells that are about to fall off, making the entire face look more uniform and without peeling skin.
